"Side fender cowl pieces...."
Mar-11-10, 07:57 PM (EDT)
The dream to offer an affordable Mako kit is still very much alive,

The next offering are the cowl fender pieces,

I know at least a couple people "need" these to complete their kits and I also know when I see used kits missing these it pretty much kills the sale of the used clip for many people,
Even custom fans like original and desire "complete" kits.

Okay..."need" doesn't mean a purchase, who is ready to buy these?
And what do YOU think is a fair price per one side pr per pair
Please do not get all cheesy and low ball that doesn't help me any,

Lets see if anyone wants these....

Coming soon...will be the "Bats" custom fender vents/Gills and super wiper filler panel....

Cheers,

I am the (recent) proud owner of some of the side vent/Gills that Mike built. Just a heads up - quality work and a neat guy to work with on the phone.
Will post pics later
Cheers - Jim

The parts I have are from the Motion molds taken form a Silva body...none were modded from how Silva made them...as you see it is smooth without any side vents,

While Silva, Motion and a few others sold kits and turn key cars countless others have "ripped" molds and sold parts, I know where 3 different sets of molds are and 2 tired built Makos are,
And of course it is common for shops and builder to "mod" off the shelf custom parts, I did that with my Ecklers Daytona/Turbo...Bats custom wide body...it still stands as a one of a kind.

I am not looking at pictures of any of your four front clips but if you can provide me with pictures of your front clips I do believe I can tell you what and how they were modded by shops and or customers/builders,
If you have four and all four are different and different from what you see in my picture then all four of your kits are indeed modded after the fact...not uncommon in the custom car world.

Please post pictures and or send them to me
The13bats@aol.com

Also on a happy side note I can provide you with a rear Mako bumper cap for your car that has a 80 style rear bumper so it can have a full "mako" look

Bugman....I can post you pictures of the rear clip I have that the mold will come from but I do not have the actual part yet,
As you can see from Jim and hopefully soon from McBrain that we do great work at a cheap price,
Please keep in mind I am not in the fiberglass parts business I just want to have Mike pull molds off custom parts I have to offset my own build costs selling a few parts...Mike of course is in it for the money...Lol.

Details on the rear bumper cap....it will fit any 68-82 Corvette...with that said it will need to be "custom" fit, in other words it will not at this time be a "bolt" on but rather a glass in part,
We do have a 74 rear bumper mold in addition to both Greenwood Daytona and Greenwood super 80 and even stock 80 so it would be "possible" to make a Mako rear bumper cap that was a "bolt" old but I would have to get into it to see what costs would be for one part which is more expensive than doing several.

Mike sells his Daytona rear bumpers for 250.00 so I know the Mako rear bumper would be 250.00 or less.

I also want to offer this...a "Mako rear spoiler fit to a stock 68-73 rear....really sweet looking to me....

Raw out of the mold it would take a fair amount of body work to install on a 68-73 but of I do it to my car and a mold was taken from that it would take far less time to install on other cars....

Like I said I am building a collection of custom and some stock parts molds and I do need rear flares badly...I look daily for them.

I had Mike make a glass part for me as well.
It turned out very nice, ready to install and paint.
The price was good and Mike is a cool guy to talk to.

I defenitly would order parts from him again, including
a drivers side cowl, add me to the list Paul.

I need a set of side panels too, but funds are kinda low right now.
If they were reasonable, I would go ahead and get a set.

Thanks, Marv.
